“Newlywed rushed to hospital twice before having rings stolen on honeymoon” |
| Newlywed rushed to hospital twice before having rings stolen on honeymoon Posted: 27 Sep 2010 02:11 AM PDT By Daily Mail Reporter It was supposed to be the happiest day of her life... but Yvonne Wilson would happily forget walking up the aisle. The 37-year-old has been dubbed Britain's unluckiest bride after she was rushed to hospital twice on her big day, had to abandon her dream honeymoon and had her wedding and engagement rings stolen.  A wedding to forget: Yvonne Wilson with husband Dennis on what should have been their special day. Shortly after this picture was taken, Mrs Wilson was rushed to hospital with agonising stomach pains Mrs Wilson, a beauty therapist, began feeling ill during the ceremony as she married groom Dennis, at a luxury hotel. After the wedding party moved to a local park for official photographs to be taken Mrs Wilson, 37, was struck down by agonising pains. She cut short the photo shoot and returned to the hotel in Rotherham hoping to shake off the pain. But as the bride and groom were preparing to welcome guests to a evening reception at the town's Holiday Inn she was struck down again. Leaving her husband, 51, to meet the arriving guests, Mrs Wilson was rushed to nearby Rotherham District Hospital by bridesmaid Sue Vickers. After being examined by doctors in the Accident and Emergency department, Mrs Wilson was given painkillers and released. She returned to her wedding reception but was hit by more pain as the party was ending at 1am and had to return to the hospital. The following day she had further examinations and after a scan two weeks later doctors discovered she had a fibroid - a benign tumour on her womb that would require surgery to remove. But when doctors revealed there was a six month waiting list for the operation, Mr and Mrs Wilson decided to cancel their £3,000 Caribbean holiday in Barbados and instead use the cash for a private operation. Then in a final cruel twist, Mrs Wilson's wedding and engagement rings were stolen from a house where she was working as a mobile beautician. She had removed the rings to carry out the treatment but forgot them when she left. The property was burgled the following night and the jewellery was stolen.  Better now: Beauty therapist Mrs Wilson, pictured with her husband, is back to full health after having the tumour on her womb removed Polish-born Mrs Wilson, who has been in Britain 16 years and lives in Rotherham, had scrimped and saved working as a care worker and beauty therapist after her partner was made redundant. Now back to full health after having the fibroid removed, she said: 'We had been so looking forward to the wedding and our future together and all the good things it would hold. 'I just never would have believed our new life together would have started like this. We only ended up having a few photos taken because I began having crippling pains. 'I ended up on the ground, I couldn't take the pain anymore and had to go back to the hotel. Then about 6pm just before the guests were due to arrive for our evening reception it became worse. I just had to go to hospital. 'I think we were a bit of a highlight in the hospital - me there in my gown and Sue in her bridesmaid dress. 'But it was very upsetting - I was thinking about everybody arriving at the hotel while I was stuck there in so much pain.' Mrs Wilson, from Dinnington, near Rotherham, was eventually released with painkillers but had to return to the hospital at 1am because she felt so ill. Two weeks later a scan revealed the fibroid but then doctors told her she faced a six-month wait to have it removed on the NHS. 'I couldn't have carried on like that for so long - I was in so much discomfort,' said Mrs Wilson. 'So we decided to use the money we had saved and the money we had been given for wedding presents to pay for the operation privately. 'The money was supposed to have been for the honeymoon - our trip of a lifetime but we had to cancel it.' The theft of the rings - worth £1,400 - was the final straw, particularly the engagement ring which Mrs Wilson had treasured since her husband proposed three years ago. Mrs Wilson said: 'I know what we have been through has been horrible but at the end of the day we have got each other so we'll be okay.' Her husband added: 'I think everything that could go wrong did go wrong but we have managed to get through it.'
